Multiscale, structure-based modeling for the elastic mechanical behavior of arterial walls
(2007)Passive elastic behavior of arterial wall remains difficult to model. Although phenomenological and structural models exist, the question of how the three-dimensional network structure of the collagen in the artery determines ...
